This still left open the question of whether or not the alderman would give his needed blessing for street closings and waiver requests for the market to go on.

Late this afternoon, however, Colon said he gave his OK after the formation of a new “advisory panel made up of several different stakeholders from the market.” He said he submit the needed aldermanic request for the permits and fee waivers.

"I am happy about this resolution,” Colon said Friday afternoon. “It alleviates my concerns and allows some of the stakeholders of the farmers market to have a greater voice. ... I’m very excited at the outcome.”

The market “has been operating for seven years and it has reached a point where it can continue to grow and thrive,” he said. “The market isn’t just a Logan Square asset. It’s a Chicago asset and it’s important for our neighborhood to have a healthy food source and to give our community more healthy choices.”

The Logan Square Farmers Market starts this year on June 5 in its usual spot at Milwaukee Avenue and Logan Boulevard.
